Closing the Stable Door After the Horse has Long Bolted
26/02/09 09:00 Filed in: Programme
If you’ve ever wanted
to see the meaning of the phrase Shutting the Stable
Door after the Horse has Bolted incarnate - tonight’s
your chance; yup, we’re running the first tranche of
the Self Defence course that we thought might be
useful for people for some reason...
As well as this, we’ll also be giving a (short!) Presentation of the Duke of Edinburgh Award work we’ve been doing behind the scenes with the Scout Association, signing up new people and signing off some of the existing participants, and there will be an opportunity to take part in ShroveTuesday Thursday pancakes.
They’ll also be details of the Years 9 & 10 Monopoly Run in London, more details for the Chase Walk, information about the Summer Camp on Guernsey, and breaking news about a possible climbing course for Year 13s in March. We’re also going to order the next lot of Explorer Drill Tops, so let us know tonight if you don’t have one.
It really is the place where it’s all happening tonight! Normal time - WITH UNIFORM...
(Oh - and apologies. There was a bit of a technical hitch with the Twitter feed, so the details didn’t get updated whilst we were away. Needless to say it was a fab. week and the snow conditions were great! And everyone returned intact...).

Thursday's Programme...
06/02/09 01:51 Filed in: Programme
... Obviously didn’t go
according to plan. Apologies to everyone, and we’re
going to take time out to review what happened, and
what lessons we need to learn from it. I’ll be
writing out to everyone’s parents with an update over
the weekend, and there will be a parents’ meeting
next Thursday for anyone who wants to come up and
discuss.
What is apparent, though, is that just about all the lads who were attacked were attacked because they’d gone to the help of younger Explorers. That is awesome, and is something that you all should be extremely proud of. It reflects rather better on you than on the gits in the Park that did this.
If you do remember something, do give me a call and I’ll pass the information on to the Police.
Thanks,
Andy

Tonight's Programme...
05/02/09 17:15 Filed in: Programme
... is on!
Normal time at HQ. For those that fancy going outside there will be an opportunity - however, we won’t force people as its possible that you’re all snowed out... We’ll also be doing some stuff indoors as well, as we don’t want you all to freeze!
(PS - ‘cause we’re nice, there’s no uniform required tonight - we recommend something warm might be useful!)
(PPS - skiing people - we forgot to mention that we’ll be traveling up in Drill Tops. But now you know...)
<= (PPPS - we’ve updated the Twitter feed that’s located somewhat to the left of here! This is now Intrepid’s own feed, rather than Andy’s - and is worth checking out, particularly when we’re away on camp, as it can be updated by text message, which is a bit easier to do from a field than updating the main website.)

Skiing People

Listen up skiing
people. Here’s the latest situation as we have it.
The following people are going:
- Matt A
- Andy B
- Nick B
- Chris B
- Alex B
- Naomi B (5 B’s - we rule!)
- Jim C
- Jono E
- Scott G
- George G
- Charlotte H (yup - Bob...)
- Joe H
- Edd J
- Liz K
- Alex L (yup - EFD!)
- Dave W
- Rhys W
So far we’ve had the skiing info. we need off Matt A (who cheated and got Joe to do it for him...), Nick B, Alex B, Scott G, Joe H, Liz K, Rhys W (who cheated and got Andy to do it for him...). Which means we need height / weight / shoe size / chosen activity ASAP from the following people (PLEASE - trying to organise this stuff is difficult enough without having to wait days for people to get around to replying!):
- Chris B
- Jim C (you sent an email about boarding but no height / weight / shoe size info.!)
- Jono E
- George G
- Charlotte H
- Edd J
- Alex L
- Dave W
The skiing Final Notes and Activity Form are now in the Documents section. PLEASE read them and let Andy know ASAP if there are any questions). DON’T FORGET THE ACTIVITY FORM NEXT SATURDAY. There’s probably at least one occasion that everyone on the list has forgotten their Activity Form, but we can hope... We will need to go around to people’s houses to collect on the Saturday if Activity Forms are forgotten. This will make us late in Scotland and mean that we don’t have time for Dinner. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! ;]
This Friday’s session is at the Ackers, and we’re meeting there at 7pm. You’ll need warm stuff and £10. So far the following people are confirmed:
- Matt A
- Andy B
- Jim C
- Joe H
- Liz K
- Rhys W
If your name’s not down, please let Andy know ASAP (spot a theme here?).
That’s probably it for the moment. Queries and questions via the usual channels.

Thursday's Programme
04/02/09 17:00 Filed in: Programme
A quick heads up. At
the time of writing this (Wednesday) it’s looking as
if tomorrow may be somewhat chaotic again with snow.
We’re not yet sure how difficult travel’s going to be
tomorrow evening, so we’ll update the website 6pm
tomorrow with a final yay or nay as to whether
Explorers is going ahead.
If it does go ahead, we’ll be at the HQ.
